In this episode of The Artist Business Plan we sit down with artist and art professor Sonya Sklaroff who leads an amazing masterclass on why a few certain skills you learn in school can really benefit your art career. Public speaking, writing, professionalism, and flexibility are some of the topics we cover, and you can learn a lot from teaching others as well! "Think outside the box.. what box? In art their is no box.” - Sonya Sklaroff Guest: Sonya Sklaroff has been a professional artist in New York City for 30 years.
